SEVEN DAYS

Aug. 17th, 2015 11:52 am
This is an experimental short story line that will last seven days. It is mostly to see how a certain mechanic of storytelling will go. Just noting this cuz it'll probably have hiccups! So just keep that in mind.

How this game will be done:

Each person who signs up will start the game with their own private post that no one can see but the gamemaster (aka Celi) and the player. In these posts, they will be making secret actions that will have an effect on their room and possibly the other players of the game! Each day, a character will receive a new prompt that will require some sort of action.

There are two ways you can do these actions:

1) Playing out the actual thread! For each single action you take, I will respond in turn and you can adjust as necessary.

2) Just submitting one complete turn-in, with every action taken. This is reserved for those who might be busy for the day, but it will have an effect.

You can also do a little of both, but basically you don't have to be around all day or anything of that sort. You can also reserve not to perform ANY action (but it will still have effects).

The themes will be:
Creation
Destruction


Because of how this game is setup, there is potential for injury, maiming, and death. However that is not the point of the game! I would just like to allow decisions to have as many possibilities as there can be. :)

Just drop a player name and contact in this post. You don't have to tell me a character. In fact, it might be better to go in with a few ideas and see where it goes. Or maybe no idea at all (though you are going to need at least a journal by game start for the private posts but you are welcome to change/add journals as necessary) OCs, fandom characters, whatever you like is fine.

The game starts August 19th, 2015. 8:00PM CST, Wednesday.

PS: I will also accept partners in signups.

PPS: I will cut off signups whenever I feel like there is enough people.
[You wake up on a cold metal bed in a room that is unfamiliar to you.

How long have you been out for? Why does your head hurt? Why can't you remember how you got here?

Before you find the answer to these questions, you might want to check out that hand-written note. There's one in every room.

Dear [NAME],

Thank you for volunteering to participate in the experiment. With your help, this project should be quite successful. My name is Huey Laforet, and I am the one responsible for this experiment. I will be here observing and the point of my project will be revealed by the end.

Your goal today is to find the exit. To do so, you'll need three card keys. However, to activate them, you will need the item listed on the card to move forward. You might not be able to find everything by searching, but certainly, there are other ways to get what you need. I've left them scattered about,

If you fail to escape by the time the experiment is over, you will have to participate in further experiments with me. If you succeed, then you will be able to successfully leave the maze.

I wish you luck. Try to stay alive.

Fairly simple! This is going to be a game of hide and seek with a dab of musical chairs and creepy stuff! Characters are going to have to hide in areas, based on the clues that they're given. If they're caught, bad things will happen. By bad things, I mean possible mauling, breaking of the limbs, etc. So WARNING: THERE WILL BE GRUESOME, VIOLENT BITS. To win the game, everyone finds the safe spot and no one gets mauled! Hooray! Lets get the details started:

♫ Time-wise, there is a day period and a night period! During the day, you'll be safe! You can roam around, eat, explore, whatever you want to do. However, during the night, the hide and seek rounds happen. The "seekers" will go room to room looking for people! Whoever is found first will be punished and will be taken out of future rounds (because they are probably dead)!

There is a certain pre-determined order that they'll be going through when looking through the hiding spots (though you won't know what that order is).

♫ However! So you're not just randomly scrambling around, you'll be given a clue that will hopefully lead you to the "safe spot". The Safe Spot is an area that will guarantee your safety! Basically, it's the last room of the house that the Seekers will look for, and thus, they will never harm the ones in that room.

♫ Also, the pre-determined order will also be based on the clue. So say the clue was like "BLUE IS A VERY GOOD COLOR I LIKE BLUE"! Seekers will look at hiding spots that don't have any blue in it FIRST. While the spots where there's ton of blue in it will be looked at much later in the order. And the spot with the most blue will be the safe spot.

♫ Some hiding spaces are limited in spots! I MEAN, TWENTY PEOPLE CANNOT FIT INSIDE A CABINET OKAY. First come, first serve. (this rule may or may not change).

♫ OOCly, I know not everyone will be able to make every round. That's fine! You can input your hiding spot answer early and if you're caught, you can deal with your punishment later and play it out whenever Celi is available. I'll try to put the hide and seek rounds at random hours too for timezone differences (give me an idea of your favorite hours in CST when you signup).

♫ ONE CHARACTER ONLY. OCs are fine! Post-game is fine! I won't put a limit as to how many people can sign up though! I'd like this to be limited to people I know (aka my plurklist) BUT if you have a friend that's interested, just poke Celi and it should be fine. :>b

♫ IF YOU DIE IN THE EARLIER ROUNDS, don't worry about not getting the chance to play! I have options for you. :)

♫ Rules can change if I find mechanic issues before game start. '-'b THE DATE FOR START WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER.

♫ FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS HERE.
